Corrections

Our corrections policy is pretty simple - we will try to correct any article as soon as we can verify that a correction is needed. Corrections frequently come in comments, and also in emails to the writer and the editor. We recommend that, at a minimum, anyone with a correction to make should email the editor - this is the quickest way to get action.

MediaShift, a project of the Knight Foundation, published an article from Scott Rosenberg with some useful suggestions:

There's really just a small number of things any news website needs to do if it wants to handle corrections and error reports responsibly:

  • Append a note to any article that's been corrected, explaining the change;
  • Keep a list of these changes, linking to the corrected articles, at a fixed location on the site;
  • Post a brief corrections policy, with information about how readers can report errors they find;
  • Make sure that your corrections listing page and your corrections policy (whether they're on the same or different pages) are part of your site navigation -- they should be accessible by one click from any page on your site.

Can you name four major sculpture parks in the Twin Cities area?

By Jay Gabler, Front Row Seat

Everyone recognizes Spoonbridge and Cherry, by Claes Oldenberg and Coosje van Bruggen: it's become one of the Twin Cities' visual trademarks. It sits across from the Walker Art Center in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, the sculpture park everyone in the Twin Cities knows if they know a sculpture park.

But that's not the only game in town: depending on how you define "notable," there are at least four notable sculpture parks in the Twin Cities area, and this is the do-or-die season to see them.

Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

You have to go to a few sculpture parks to realize just how world-class this place is. On 11 beautifully manicured acres are arrayed dozens of works by the world's greatest contemporary sculptors: besides Oldenberg and van Bruggen, the artists represented include Richard Serra, Sol LeWitt, Alexander Calder, Mark di Suvero, Dan Graham, Jenny Holzer, Ellsworth Kelly, Frank Gehry, and a host of others. You can return to this bounty again and again, and reap new rewards every time. Quite probably, if you've read this far, you're already familiar with this park, so let's move on.

In 2012, Minnesotans will face an entirely new political map, based on the population shifts and demographic changes revealed by the 2010 Census.

That map will define Minnesota’s communities, determine which groups vote together and which are separated by political boundaries, and influence which politicians can run for office in what districts for a decade to come.
